AlliedBarton Security Services, the industry’s premier provider of highly trained security personnel, is pleased to announce that the company was recognized with the Visionary Award by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. This award was created to establish a special tribute for significant leadership and to recognize outstanding companies that thrive and support the business backbone of the Greater Philadelphia economy.

The company’s President and CEO, Bill Whitmore, accepted the Visionary Award at the 30th Annual Excellence Awards dinner held at the Hyatt Regency at Penn’s Landing on November 15, 2012.

“We are proud to have grown from a small, regional security company to the leading American owned physical security services company,” said Whitmore. “This award recognises our growth and the central role that Philadelphia plays in our company’s evolution nationally.” Today, AlliedBarton leads the industry on critical issues such as training standards, national background checks, military hiring and workplace violence prevention.

“The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce is honored to present AlliedBarton with the Visionary Award which is given annually to an outstanding company that is thriving, contributing to the Greater Philadelphia economy and moving our region forward,” said Chamber President and CEO Rob Wonderling.
